Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:
1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s
To convert 1280 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1280 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s
1280 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1280 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 658.48888888832 m/s
The final result is:
1280 kt → 658.48888888832 m/s
We conclude that 1280 knots is equivalent to 658.48888888832 meters per second:
1280 knots = 658.48888888832 meters per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0015186285097205 × 1280 knots.
Another way is saying that 1280 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015186285097205 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred eighty knots is approximately six hundred fifty-eight point four eight nine meters per second:
1280 kt ≅ 658.489 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred eighty knots.
